The crackdown on Southeast Asian nannies got so intense that Philippine and Indonesian diplomats sought clarification; the authorities said they were upholding Chinese laws barring foreigners from working as domestic helpers. "We foreigners are all getting kicked out for the Olympics," said a Western expat who recently visited his gray-market agent to renew his visa, only to be told he couldn't get an extension past Aug. 1 "because China can't trust foreigners during the Olympics." Ma, the security czar, says the preparations are allowing Beijing to "re-engineer its security force" to provide better service. "It won't end with the closing of the Olympics," he promises.

    What part of China does this CLOWN live in? China is a Marxist Leninist State with little or no interest in the rights or freedom of their people, if they disagree with interests of the state. According to Mao the ends will always justify the means. The Communist Party couldn't give a *** about the simple people of China,as long as the Fat Party Bastards stay in power. So always remember this if some Determinist SOB over defends a crappy government like China, always ask that person, "What part of the government are you?" Why that question, because no sane person would ever defend a government that Imprisons 80 year old women for protesting the loss of their homes or throwing religious people for attending church.
    China's Olympics are a rerun of Hitler's 1936 Olympics, all show. Now when does China Start the Holocost ?

    I am wondering whether the author of this writer ever been to China, this is an baseless and misleading article. Some suggestions for the author: before writing anything about China, please try to learn more, know more and understand more about China. It would be ridiculous to convince the readers using such biased articles written by someone who has never been to China or who has never try to understand China or what the Chinese people think.
